JBL Bar 2.1 Deep Bass Unbox Setup + Sound Test Review | First Impression of JBL Soundbar 

Hi Angelo, Been using it for at least a month now. Fantastic! Superb bass and quality audio for an entry level price range. The bass and lows definitely beats a previous LG 5.1 surround that i had used for 2 years. Totally wasn't impressed with the 5.1 LG sound system previously. For explosions, parts of my house vibrate. Metals like keys and loose stuffs like door bolts vibrates. You can *hear the vibration* . When I am in another room, someone else is using the speaker outside in the living room, I can feel vibration and stuffs in my room shakes as well. Its insane. Cannot imagine the 10" sub woofer on the 5.1 JBL. Dialogue is clear as well. Other than you know, typical with movies (especially horror), the talking is soft (have to increase the volume), but when the jump scare scene comes out, the sound becomes loud all of a sudden (Cant blame the speaker but the movies are like that). Same applies for games. *Fantastic, though the bass is too powerful for games, I had to lower the Bass to "LOW" to be on par with the volume level of soundbar.* I can hear and feel the lows, deeps. Like wind rustling and rumbling, where else these kind of sound totally cannot be heard from the stock Tv speaker. *Pros:* 1) Lows (Deep and vibrates things in house). 2) Loud for home theatre usage, unless you are living in a big ass mansion, then probably you will want to get a way bigger sound system with surround sound. 3) Love how it produces the ambient sound (Eg Wind rustling, subtle rumbling becomes obvious), produced from games and movies which I usually cant hear in low end cheap products/ stock tv speaker). 4) Sound like watching in cinema standard, except it has no surround sound. 5) Clear dialogue. *Cons:* 1) No 5.1 (no surround), but thats fine with me for now (No Dolby Atmos surround sound like i wrote), only Dolby Digital (?Plus?). 2) ARC only/ no eARC. Though i dont think I can even tell the difference in listening quality. 3) No Equalizer setting (be it physical remote control or via bluetooth app) 4) This speaker would probably disturb your neighbours if you are living in a flat/ apartment (If volume is 65% or more, depending how far they live from you). *Overall:* Very very happy and impressed with the product, performs better (excluding surround sound) and impressed me more than LG 5.1 (forgot the model) which i used for 2 years. You get what you pay. Because the quality is so good, I feel that If i will to upgrade to a 5.1 or higer, this would probably not go. It will be shifted to the room and its gonna be crazily loud for a room. Visitors to my house are impressed with the sound produced, and they talk about it naturally (They are not audiophiles by the way). Some ask about the bass. Kids say it too loud (and there are even louder models). Just got another visitor to my house, I did not mention anything about the equipment. She naturally said: *"Wow, sounds like in the Cinema huh?"*

@@MintChoggy great!! Many thanks for the detailed reply! I am considering buying this model or the Samsung Q600A. Still not sure what i will pick but your analysis help me a lot. Thank you

@@angelocruz525 Hi Angelo, I have updated/ edit my previous reply for more details. You can read through again. Noted on your comparison. Apologies but I cant help you with the comparison on that/ wont dare to comment on Samsung Q600A/ other sound system which I have never ever heard of/ listened with my ears live. What I am sure of is that nothing beats going down to the shop and listen live with your ears, best if even have side by side. Because no matter how much you listen online, it will never be replicated 100% like the original sound live (even with a professional mic used).

Don't buy it...poor dialogue delivery...no manual settings

@@narendrabelikatte1620 @NARENDRA BELIKATTE No manual settings, I would agree with you as an additional con. For claiming dialogue quality poor, definitely not true. *Audio quality is excellent* for the price range, audio quality output feels premium. Certainly doesn't sound like those cheap speakers.

Hi Animesh, thanks for your viewpoint. That was my first time hearing the JBL speakers, and my expression was genuine.

I was just laughing when i saw his reaction 😊👍

Hi Bidhan, appreciate your share. We all have our wishlist! Work hard and then buy what you can afford!

I also have this

On sale on Amazon half off for Black Friday

jajajajaja literally you cruing from inside??really.? literally? jajajaajajaajajajajaajajajajajaja

AKA "please give me money so I can buy this" 🤣🤣🤣

Thanks for the kind words. Yes, it makes movie watching a whole different level! With sound bars (even lower end basic ones), it totally becomes a whole new level of impression for hone entertainment!

Hi, 1) No buzzing/ white noise sound for voice/ any action scene even when at 75% or higer (Which I dont even go that loud, its tool loud for home). Usually 50% to 60% is more than loud enough for home usage. I dont want to disturb others. At night when everyone is sleeping, i reduce it to as low as 7 of max 33 volume. Dynamic range is large (talking dialogue on softer side, explosions/ gunshots/action scenes are on louder side. I think this is normal, even in cinema. Wish there is a voice boost/ option to reduce dynamic range, like the newer higer end JBL. I have a feeling other soundbars are like this as well, for immersive effect. Some high end games, have the option to reduce audio dynamic range (I choose midnight/ narrow dynamic range in the game), and it helps balancing the voice dialogue and action scenes (Not too soft talking, not too loud action scenes). 2) Still loving the JBL deep bass after more than a year. Sounds and feels premium (shakes the house, man). 3) I would not dare to give me opinion on other sound bars, as I have not tried them.

Do you use also your jbl 2.1 for videoke for singing? Thanks

Bro how was this soundbar for movies.?in movies the dialogues are clear?

No. This is not meant for K'. Buy other stuff for singing K.

Hi, everyone has got different definition of sound. For me, it is for sure clear. Just that in movies, the dialogue is on the soft side, but the explosion becomes loud (usually horror and action movies nowadays). I feel that the movie is made like that, not because of the speaker system. Nevertheless Sounds like theater sound.

No EQ control. Only adjustable bass: Low, Medium, High

Thank You

JBL 2.1 deep bass 300 watt bohot hi jabardast hai bhai g lay lo aap

Yes Solid sound. Sounds like in a theatre. Cant wait to try other higer end models!

Bro where are you from 😅

Sony can't beat bass of jbl

Wow. Ok I wouldn't comment on that because I have yet to try out other soundbars with my ears LIVE.

Hi, No EQ settings. Only Selectable Low/ Med/ High Bass.

Model name in title. Yes, bluetooth compatible

Sudah semestinya..

Hi, I cant understand you completely. You should connect soundbars to TV E/ARC hdmi port

Ok bro

Really deep bass

Where to buy 2.1 Deep Bass Soundbar?

Hi, Never experienced that problem you mentioned before. Not even once. There might be many interference in your home. Switch off more Bluetooth, DC wifi if not using device, it will probably help. Also if you device blocked by a wall etc, BT will be affected.

Thanks my love

Subwoofer should be in front of you, beside Tv is fine.

@@MintChoggy In front of the sofa?

@@BlackHorizonGaming_Official just place it beside the TV as shown in the original manufacturer manuals/ photos. Left, right, front of TV is fine.

@@MintChoggy hmm really thanks. But just a question, why not besides the sofa?

@@BlackHorizonGaming_Official this is a 2.1 system and sound should be coming from the front of you. Not at the back. If you want surround sound, look at 5.1 or higer. Then you can place speakers behind you.

Hi, the JBL deep bass 2.1 is unable to accept any Bluetooth mic whilst connected to a TV for Karaoke, nor does it have any Aux/ Mic input. You can try JBL Party Bass, it does have 2 inputs for 2 different mics, and has Aux as well. There are many other brands as well for Karaoke, even no brand speakers as well. In Vietnam, unbranded or chinese >1500 Watt speakers are blasting almost everywhere in the streets. Extremely loud, but no depth. Go with your budget and feel. No harm checking around.

@@MintChoggy I already have jbl 2.1 soundbar deep bass what to do to use it as my sound speaker? I have my platinum karaoke with aux can I use it huhu I want to sing on christmas🥹

@@jlovez143 I dont think you can use this speaker as a Karaoke set. Once its connected to a TV, it will be on HDMI mode and *NOT* on Bluetooth mode, therefore unable to connect to any bluetooth device (in this case, your bluetooth mic). The USB jack behind the JBL Deep Bass will not work with any other devices, other than firmware update only (from computer).

Hi questiin why is my subwoofer jbl 2.1 deep bass blinking?? Can you tell me what's the problem?

@@jlovez143 Which part is blinking? Maybe a video link will be great,

Hi, thanks for commenting. Great question. Thats the thing. It can be rather confusing for powers and conversion. I myself is not an expert. As far as I know with my limited knowledge: Watt input does not mean same watt output power. It writes 100 watt *input* on the subwoofer. It means it supposedly uses 100 watt to work. Notice the term *input* . It produces 200 watt (loudness) from the sub woofer alone (in which manufacturer does not write on equipment). Though I would believe total input power for this JBL required would *PROBABLY BE LESSER* around ~55 watt for both soundbar and woofer (guess-timating from LG 300 watt equivalent soundbar set).

Thankyou very much for solving my big confusion bro. Thankyou very much👍😊. you are such a great guy

Hi, no thats not normal. I dont encounter qny at all. Switch off everything, Check your wire connection if its snug, do a hard reset as well.

I see! Take note 3.5mm jack loses audio details, unlike via ARC/ EARC. I need to set the bass to "LOW" now when I am gaming, because it will disturb family on the lower level. Those booms are loud, but the talking is softer (As with all high end movies).

May i know what are the third parties software ya? I would love to know that.

Hi, Theres no input for Karaoke

@@MintChoggy i mean when you have a separate item like platinum karaoke?

@@reymondagpaoa6570 I didnt try karaoke.

Nope

Yo, starting clip is just a normal phone camera + built in mic (nothing special), no time to set up due to time constrain. End clip: Nikon D780 at 4K + Nikkor 50mm F/1.4G at F/1.4 + Rode Wireless Go mic.

@@MintChoggy yo what phone?

@@glizzy6597 Google Pixel 2 XL.

Hi, This is the TV. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NrekK5cgjyQ.htmlsi=9EdU06IG2FAxVPg7

Its different. The 2.1 WITHOUT the "deep bass" is a predecessor.

Sorry, I wouldn't give empty opinions when I have never listened to *any sony* soundbars before

@@MintChoggy ok

@@SadySubha for bass ofcource JBL

@@reflexop6201 thanks men🫡🫡😄

@@SadySubha buy JBL 2.1 DEEP BASS🙌

Hi, please click link in my description

Hi Tyson, Understand your english Good enough to understand. This Model has no equalizer mode, only selectable Bass: Low, Medium, High Bass. This is on High Bass.

@@MintChoggy oh okay, thank you very much. What is the Name Song? Bass test Song

@@Tyson1502 Here is the link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4vUtXdXmnRE.html

@@MintChoggy thank you very much 👍👍👍👍

Fantastic! Nothing spoilt/ worn. I ensure the max threshold is at 75% volume, as all speakers will spoil fast if its pushed beyond 75% - 80%. Read my reply to Angelo (Pinned Comment).

I got one! Thanks for your review!

Hi, almost every country should be able to buy this. It should be hovering around USD 370+- brand new.

@@MintChoggy thank you 🙏

Nah. All speakers will be damaged only after 75% or more volume, for a period of time. Tested and proven by my own older speakers.

This is 300 watts. 100 watts from the bar (6 speakers inside). 200 watts Subwoofer (6.5inch).

@@MintChoggy SPL not wattage

@@kateaser1457 Hi, can you explain?

@@MintChoggy SPL is the sound pressure level measured in the unit db. That is how much db per watt per metre the sound pressure the unit produces. It is the actual measurement of the acoustic energy. Wattage is the maximum power in RMS can the speaker handle. You can download the apps to measure the spl and see what is the maximum spl for a loud passage.

@@AnoopSara Wow. Thanks for the info. Too deep, didnt delve until that deep.

Hi, thanks for the comment. I wouldn't comment against/ on Sony soundbars as I dont have the chance to try any yet.

@@MintChoggy thanks 🙏 for reply

Hello bang, ini ZOOM H1. Ada baru lagi version, ZOOM H1N. Quality Audio terbaik. Super

Ini ZOOM H1 Quality Audio lebih tinggi RODE Wireless GO.

@@MintChoggy harga dia x boleh bwk bincang🥶..boleh sambung ke phone kan untuk rekod video?

@@syafiqasyraf_yt i think boleh. Belum try. Perlu adapter ke phone. Macham ni, Rode Wireless GO lagi lebih baik dengan phone. Kecik dengan tdk tdk perlu wired.

6.5"

Im guessing it depends on the country service center (if its good or bad).

Only Dolby Digital, 2 Front speakers.

🤣

Yup, the airpod pro is horrible

Not to mention apple products are ridiculously overpriced and not worth the money for specs

Hi! Apologies, I will speak even clearer next time, and use a microphone whenever possible for best audio clarity. So far, the "Auto CC" feature is able to catch my words 95% accurately. Click "ON CC", it will help you understand more. Thank You!

Hey dude it’s obvious he has bit of an accent you most likely get your food DELIVERYS from DOORDASH HISPANIC PPL WITH ACCENTS TOO - i can clearly understand him and he’s easy on the eyes and has beautiful skin and sexy legs so it makes up for a little accent in his voice which i think is cute as well so THUMBS UP FOR ME🙏🙏🙏🔥🔥🔥✅✅✅😜😜😜😋😋😋

​@@klownaround5464 Appreciate the kind words! Understand the beginning of the video I did not use a mic (lots of distortion from ambient surroundings). Next time I will use a Mic for better, clearer clarity of dialogue.
